This would be a minor version upgrade so I think the cost would be about $695 + VAT if we are required to buy a copy of the manual.

IDL 8.8.3 install archive is now on Myriad in: ``` /shared/ucl/apps/IDL/installers/idl883-linux.tar.gz ``` Need to produce a silent install script to install on Myriad.

I've done the install script and it has been uploaded to Myriad ready for testing. I will do this tomorrow.

Didn't quite work: ``` --------------------- Installation Summary: --------------------- IDL 8.8.3 Installation location: /shared/ucl/apps/IDL/8.8.3 Login: ccspapp Products: IDL IDL Help files Platforms: Linux - X86 (64-bit) Install the above configuration? (y/n):...

I need to do a test install in my Scratch to find out what is missing from the silent install template.

Sorted out what should have been in the template. Install now completed. I'm now testing if the access to the UCL LM is set up correctly.

Test of access to UCL LM works: ``` idl IDL 8.8.3 (linux x86_64 m64). (c) 2022, L3Harris Geospatial Solutions, Inc. Licensed for use by: University College London-CHEST License: 405435-CHEST IDL>...

Module file uploaded on Myriad. Use: ``` module load idl/8.8.3 ``` to access this version. Informing user.

Use reports that it is working on Myriad. Will now install on Kathleen.

Installed and tested on Kathleen.
